Get a good ec/ph pen to measure input and runoff, take the guess work out of it. For nutes and led i lean more towards hydro nutes than organic.

Excellent example with the photos. With posture im refering on how "perky" the plant looks which correlates with how much the plant is drinking: the more errect and standing up the leves and everything is the more its drinking. With nute strength: if you do changes to ur environment which means...

Following along :) nice short grow.

What light/ spectrum did you ditch? Evos come in many different ccts

Hey Star Dog, do you have a current grow thread?

See how the plant stretches out its leaves, drinking happily. This what to look for when dialing in the environment. The only other thing id rec is adapting your nute strength to your transpiration: if you were dialed in on nutes before and now increase drinking youd need to dial down the nutes...

Banana purple punch; im smoking a PP x Black banana kush right now, which later was crossed with some old school berry like genetics. The more the plant leans to the fruitside the more awesome it is, very recommendable. Fairly indica leaning aswell in our case.

I was referring to technical level, its as easy as sticking a wire into a pushin connector. You dont need any ikea, maybe a hardware shop but thats it. Apart from boards, sinking and driver all you need are a few wago connectors (4 x2way, 2x 3way) and some way to hang the two boards as one...

Ill link aswell: Boards: https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/components/products/qb288-rspec-fr-quantum-board Theres heatsinks aswell if you look in the same section if the link. You could probably even sink the two boards with 3mm alusheet but it woul maybe restrict air movement a...

You can defo get a good light for a 2x2 for less than 200, just know where to look. The list posted above has a Vipar light, 1500 pro something which is usually my go to recommendation for a 2x2 on a budget. Very even light coverage and enough light to cover any situation in a 2x2. And close to...

For an outdoor grower coming to leds: environment (temp/rh) is very important to get the plants to drink and transpire properly. Generally for full flower you want somewhere around 79F minimum. Since leds dont throw heat on the cannopy the plants dont transpire as well as normal which can lead...

I concur with Mo: those numbers are fudged. Or maybe its the numbers of their 480w version of the light. There is just not enough watts in this light to give those numbers, no way. It will give you enough light for a 2x2 but id advice against to buy a light that is fudging their numbers. If...

Yes, at least according to the driver manual. Keep in mind that the solar panels will change voltage and current according to sunshine, you may end up outside of spec when a cloud hits. Youd need to find a way to stabilize voltage and current to get this working decent: some batteries and...

That vid is so funny, his futile attempts of killing his brand new quantum board (this in a time when these where scarce at HLG and getting one to destroy it was just like blasphemy) I seriously suspect HLG of engineering an adamantium quantum board for LG for those tests, 600w thru one board is...

Meanwell HLG series has integrated DC power input (along with a fair few other drivers), nobody needs to engineer anything here really. DC batteries to AC inverter then back to DC thru driver: theres several layers of conversion and efficiency loss built into that, ideally find a way of working...

Remember that vid :) Do you remember part 2, quantum board torture edition? Please anyone watching theres no endorsement of whats done in the vid, but i endorse any laughs and mirth

Its going to be cheaper and safer to replace it. OP: honestly it sounds like an issue beyond the dimmer. The dimmer failing will give issues like the intensity "sticking" and other issues of controlling intensity. What you got, fuses and crackling sound, is likely to be the driver itself. At...

Quick connectors?

Variac is no good for dimming a led driver, need 10V resistive pot, 100k ohm.
